The tumblr was actually my idea to help bring in new blood from there, not really for our existing players!
Yeah, yeah, I know, tumblr RP, but there's starting to be some interest in DWRP going around on that site, so I thought getting a tumblr for the game would be a good way to advertise. Once I really get to work on it, I'll be linking the comms on here as well as resources that have been going around to help them understand the way RP here works and some other things like the website, all on a big sticky post (as soon as I understand how to do that, haha tumblr, how does it work). Once all that is set up, it'll be used mostly to announce reserve and app schedules, fourth wall when we have one (oh ho ho), and probably reblog any fanart from the game that people post up. I think jao also has some art and stuff she's made that didn't really make it into our game setup that will probably go on there, as well.
That said, both the website and tumblr are totally optional for players. All information, announcements, and actual gameplay will be on Dreamwidth as usual, that won't be changing. If you're feeling overwhelmed, you can completely ignore the existence of those things and still enjoy the game to its fullest!
And of course the actual upkeep and running of the game will come before any extraneous stuff. Though if you ever feel like we're slipping, feel free to shoot us a concern!
